No chemical reaction or energy transfer process can take place without electrons, as they are responsible for forming and breaking chemical bonds. Therefore, to control and manipulate chemical ...

Catalytic hydrogen production has emerged as a cornerstone in the pursuit of sustainable energy solutions. Central to this endeavour is the effective management of electron transfer processes that ...

Fig. 1. The dielectric response models for conventional dielectric materials and for metamaterials. For conventional dielectric materials, there are three types of polarization models: Drude model for ...

Scientists create a biohybrid by combining E. coli with a metal-organic framework, enabling charge storage through microbial electron transfer. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Harnessing biological systems for ...

Porphyrin complexes are renowned for their remarkable ability to mediate electron transfer processes, a feature that underpins critical functions in biological systems and offers promising ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have solved a long-standing mystery involving the first steps of photosynthesis, the ...

Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave as they do. Rice University researchers Jianwei ...

A ‘hole’ arises due to a missing electron in the valence band, which normally participates in covalent bonding between atoms. The absence of an electron creates a local absence of a negative charge, ...
